Maduro said that every week they will continue to “raise” the “operational, internal communication and deployment, to guarantee” some “happy and peace.”
Since August and in response to those denouncing as “threats” against the nation, Maduro has summoned Venezuelans to mobilizations and days of both enlistment in militia and training, in order to strengthen the so-called “popular-military-political fusion” and improve the national defense system.
A good part of these activities have been carried out on Saturdays, such as last week, when a national drill of emergencies for natural disasters or armed conflicts was carried out, after a seismic swarm that affected the west of the country and also in view of the US military deployment.
This Thursday, the exterior and defense portfolios denounced an “illegal foul combat raid” from the US 75 kilometers from the Venezuelan coasts, a fact that, they said, will be denounced before the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, and other instances such as CELAC.
Through a statement, the Chavista administration demanded that the US Secretary of War, Pete Hegesh, cease immediately “in its reckless, adventurous and warrior position, which aims to undermine the Peace Zone of Latin America and the Caribbean and endangers regional stability.”
